Bread (Flat) - Grilled Peaches & Plums Flatbread

A little about categorizing bread. Our system is not scientific by a long shot. We've placed them into table, flat, dessert, and fried. Table bread may include loaves of sandwich-type bread or something designed to serve as a loaf or dinner bun at the table. Flat is generally un-yeasted bread that is flat (duh!). Fried can be pan-fried or deep-fried. Dessert is for delectables such as banana bread. The words dressing and stuffing are interchangeable, depending where you live. Many will contain bread, others may not. This is dizzying.

For the Dough:
¼ ounce (2¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
1 cup water, heated to 115º
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
¼ cup olive oil, plus more for greasing
For the Pistachio Mascarpone:
1 cup mascarpone
½ cup pistachios, toasted
¼ cup tarragon leaves
¼ cup mint leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For the Spice Mix:
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon lemon zest
For the Toppings:
1 pound peaches, cut into ½-inch wedges
1 pound plums, cut into ½-inch wedges
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Shaved ricotta salata, for garnish
Chopped pistachios, for garnish
Tarragon leaves, for garnish
Micro cilantro, for garnish

Make the dough:
In a large bowl, whisk together the yeast and the water and let the mixture sit until it begins to froth, 5 minutes. Add in the flour, salt and sugar, and mix until a smooth dough comes together. Transfer to a greased bowl and cover with a towel. Let rise in warm place until doubled in size, 1 hour. Meanwhile, make the pistachio mascarpone: In a blender, combine all the pistachio mascarpone ingredients and purée until smooth, then set aside. Make the spice mix: In a small bowl, mix all the spice mix ingredients to incorporate, then set aside. Prepare the toppings: Light a grill. In a large bowl, toss together the peaches and plums with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Grill the stone fruit, flipping once, until lightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Divide the dough into 4 equal balls and roll each one on a lightly floured work surface into a 9-by-12-inch oval. Brush each flatbread with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over the entire surface. Grill the flatbreads, flipping once, until puffed and lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and immediately spread ¼ cup of the pistachio mascarpone on each flatbread. Top each with a quarter of the grilled stone fruit and sprinkle a large pinch of the spice mix over the flatbread. Garnish with ricotta salata, pistachios, tarragon and micro cilantro, then slice and serve.
